Luke 8:4-8

Modern English Version

The Parable of the Sower^(A)

⁴ When a large crowd had gathered together and people were coming to Him from every city, He told this parable: ⁵ “A sower went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. ⁶ Some fell on a rock. And as soon as it sprang up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. ⁷ Yet some fell among thorns. And the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. ⁸ And other seed fell on good ground and sprang up and yielded a hundred times the amount sown.”

When He had said these things, He cried out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
